Gemini Feed

Banks' song 'Gemini Feed' delves into the emotional turmoil of a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is suffocating and manipulative. The opening lines, 'Open up your eyes / There's nothing on my body left to see,' suggest a sense of vulnerability and exposure, as if the singer has given everything to the relationship but received nothing in return. The repeated attempts to express love, met with indifference and passive-aggressive behavior, highlight the emotional neglect and manipulation she endured.

The metaphor of being led 'to the altar' like a dog needing water underscores the power imbalance in the relationship. The singer feels diminished, as if her partner wanted her to be smaller and more controllable. This imagery is powerful, evoking a sense of desperation and dependency. The line 'If you would have let me grow / You could have kept my love' suggests that the relationship stifled her personal growth and autonomy, ultimately leading to its downfall.

The chorus, 'We were so depressive / We were Gemini feed,' encapsulates the mutual toxicity of the relationship. The term 'Gemini feed' could be interpreted as a reference to the dual nature of the Gemini zodiac sign, symbolizing the conflicting emotions and instability within the relationship. The repetition of 'depressive' emphasizes the pervasive sadness and emotional drain experienced by both parties. Banks' haunting vocals and the melancholic melody further amplify the song's themes of heartbreak and liberation.
